It restarts with a fantastically fresh new single that catapults it right back to the techno vanguard from Krl Mx that mixes rave, hard techno and trance and comes out on 17th October.

This new chapter will see their all new 10 track VA made available for the first time on all digital platforms on 7th November, and at ADE on October 19th, KNTXT Turbo Club invites Ismus for an exclusive day party with sets from Charlotte de Witte, Acid Asian, AK SPORTS, Krl Mx and Marion Di Napoli.

Ismus is well known to underground heads having become a cult Berlin party that hosted plenty of popular events with a fresh blend of hard techno, rave, dance and trance. The same sounds were always championed by the label and that’s the case again now with this relaunch release.

Says Ismus founder Josh Dunlop “Relaunching Ismus is a huge moment for us. After an extended break, we’re excited to be working with the KNTXT team to bring the label back with even more strength and momentum. The collaboration opens up fantastic opportunities for the labels future, and we can’t wait to share what’s coming next.”

Says Charlotte “Through Ismus, I discovered some massive tracks such as Krl Mx’s “Leftlovers”. It was also the label that introduced me to the then yet-unknown Amazingblaze. To see it go on hiatus felt like a loss to our scene. It’s vital to me that breakthrough platforms and labels like Ismus stay around and are given the opportunity to grow. With KNTXT, we’re very happy to play a part in the continuation of the label and look forward to Ismus next chapter. We’re quite convinced they will continue to surprise us and introduce us to raw talent that deserves attention.”

Krl Mx is a standout new school artist who has made his mark on labels like Kobosil’s R-Label and Amelie Lens’ Exhale. He has played all over Europe and continues to push boundaries and explore new sonic directions here. He delivers with the high energy and slamming “All Is Dead Inside” which is powered by tight, slinky drum loops and layered up with emo vocals and plenty of screwy, hardcore synths that buzz about the mix.

This is a superb return to form for Ismus.
